Former Giants linebacker Jonathan Goff signs with the Washington Redskins

William Perlman/The Star-LedgerFormer Giants linebacker Jonathan Goff has signed with the Washington Redskins as a free agent after four seasons with the Giants. Goff missed all of the 2011 season with a torn knee ligament.

Here's a little bit of news that occurred earlier this afternoon and isn't exactly shocking, seeing as how the Giants showed little interest in retaining him, but wanted to note for you folks Jonathan Goff has signed with the Washington Redskins.

"Excited to announce I'm joining the Redskins this season!" Goff wrote on his Facebook page. "Thank you Giants Nation for 4 great years!"

The 2008 fifth-round pick started four games in his second season and all 16 in 2010. He had a sack and two passes defensed in each season along with an interception in 2009. He was credited with 80 total tackles in 2010.

We've updated the Giants' free agency tracker to include Goff's signing with Washington. (For those of you on the mobile site, I'm not sure it's going to work for you there.

I'm waiting on official word on the undrafted free agent signings before adding them.
